Roughing It:
So one of the awesome girls in one of my role-play families had a bunny that she couldn't write so I asked her to prompt me and while I've never written this ship before and don't know if I'll be able to do them justice I decided to give it a go. It will most likely be 3-6 chapters unless my muse gets carried away

It was the Friday before Spring Break and while most of the mutters around the Degrassi hall were of some unofficial Senior Trip, Tori's mind was set more on the piece of paper that had been left in her locker just after lunch.
"Let me guess," her best friend Tristan spoke up after the final bell rang breaking her from her thoughts, "you're wishing that you were going to Vegas over break too! I told Owen to bring me back a Celine Dion T-shirt but I don't think shopping will be on his mind."
At the word 'Shopping' Tori's mind once more flashed back toward the letter letting out a sigh as she blew a stray piece of her long curly dark hair from her eyes.
"No, I'm not wishing I were in Vegas but you got warm when you mentioned the word shopping."
At the S word Tristan's face lit up like a tree at Christmas.
"Tell me that there is a sale at the Mall, I don't care what store I just need to get my shopping on this spring break."
Instead of being the dream crusher and outright telling her friend there was no sale she instead decided to side step and turn things back to her.
"Zig left me a shopping list."
"Zig?" Tristan questioned with an annoyance in his voice, "The boy who was still wearing his uniform kaki's weeks after the dress code was lifted has left you Tori Miss fashionista extrodenare a shopping list."
Tori nodded pulling the neatly folded piece of paper from her pocket and handing it to him.
Looking at the note Tristan read it.
Tori,
I really hope you don't already have plans for the beginning of Spring Break because I've planned something special for the two of us. Anyway I know you like shopping so here is a Spring Break Shopping List of items needed for what I have in store.
-Backpack
-Sleeping Bag
-Water Bottle
-Sun Screen
-Bug Spray
-Flashlight
-Warm Jacket
-Extra Socks
-Trail Mix
If by now you can figure out the surprise feel free to add to what I've said. If you haven't figured it out yet…well…just meet me in the park with those items on Sunday Morning. Make sure to wear Jeans and a comfortable pair of sneakers or boots as we'll be walking allot and I don't want your feet to hurt.
We'll have fun, I know it.
-Love Zig
Handing the letter back to Tori, her friend smiled.
"Well, that's interesting."
"Do you know what this surprise is Tristan because I don't have a clue…I mean Trail Mix, Extra Socks, Bug Spray? Bugs are so not my thing and Zig knows it.
"Well," Tristan said pointing toward the music room where Zig most likely was there for Band Practice, "communication is key."
Tori let out a sigh knowing that her friend was right and bid goodbye to him before he went on his own way, most likely to the mall as he had that shopping gleam in his eye since her first utterance of the word Sale.
Making her way toward the room she began to overhear a conversation going on.
"Are you sure it's a good idea," Mo's voice rang from the other side of the door, "I mean she seems High Maintenance."
Tori wondered if the boys were talking about the surprise and so she began to eavesdrop.
"Well, then tell me, what are you doing with Marisol over Spring Break."
"Not going to Vegas, I mean yea my girlfriend is the groom's ex's best friend but I thought being Drew's football bro would cancel that out."
"So then what ARE you doing?"
"I'm going to immerse myself in an EPIC gamer tournament while Marisol is spending the week visiting her great aunt."
"But if you did take her on a camping trip how do you think she'd react?"
"I don't know, I mean she told me that last summer she spent some time up at Jake's cabin so…."
Tori let the boy's conversation trail off as she made her way back toward her locker to gather her things.
"Camping! Zig's taking me Camping!"
AN: Ok here is the first chapter the 'prompt was to write Zori camping but I kind of needed a set up to it so here you go. Also I know it was mentioned that T&T went to camp which was where they performed 'Half a Heart' however I assume it was a Theater camp which wouldn't have too much roughing it involved. I've never physically been camping so I hope to do the prompt justice. Also, I'm still trying to get my muse to update 'Do You Believe In Magic' however I've got some writers block…any ideas for that would be loved.
